CRTC sets rate of 52 cents per subscriber per month for use of inside wiring
The CRTC has set a rate of 52 cents per subscriber per month for the use of wiring by broadcast distributors in multiple-unit dwellings (MUD) – Broadcasting Public Notice 2002-51. The commission notes that it "sought to establish an inside wire fee for MUDs that would ensure consumers enjoy the full benefits of competition in distribution, including the benefits of end-user choice, while the interests of both incumbents and of new entrants are taken into account." The rate followed a process examining the issue that began in March with the release of Public Notice 2002-13 (CCR, March 15/02, Aug. 25/99).
